Blocking and Unblocking Groups and Users
To block or unblock groups or users, proceed as follows:
- After signing in to Drooms, select the project and data room where you want to create groups and users.
- Select ‘Users’ in the project’s and data room’s tab bar to access the users section. A list with user groups will be displayed. You can expand the groups to view the group members.
- Select one or more users or groups, which you want to block or unblock, with a right-click to open the context menu, and select option ‘Block access’, respectively ‘Grant access’. The selected user(s) or group(s) will be immediately blocked, respectively unblocked.
The last member of the Administrators group with access to a project cannot block himself or be blocked by Drooms, as there must remain at least one person with full administrative powers on the customer’s side, as long as a project is active (the ‘Drooms Administrator’ does not count).
If a group is blocked, none of the group members can access your project despite individually granted data room access.
Alternatively to blocking groups or users via the context menu, you can also double-click on a group or a user to open the corresponding Group Details overview, respectively the User Details overview, where you not only can disable and enable a group’s or user’s data room access, but also schedule a future blocking date for a group or a user.
